I have 4 rolls of Kodak Ektachrome elite II (3x200iso and 2x50iso) that have been sitting in the original tubs in a drawer away from heat and direct sunlight, and would like to know if anyone can suggest some where to get them processed and scanned.............
I think these may ( hopefully )be from the 1993 airshow at Finningley .............................

I used these people until when the Tristars retired and at last went digital. They're fairly reliable although quite pricey, but I think that was more supply and demand in the latter months.

thanks for that, poke to them before posting on here, they seem to think that the film may be a bit iffy after all these years, they suggest sending them in, and they will do one , see what its like, then take it from there, the alternative is, that they can do them in black and white chemicals, but I will end up with negatives and not colour slide........

Re: E6 processing
They probably will be iffy - showing a colour cast - but its remarkable what you can do in PS to correct that sort of thing. I'm no expert, but would assume that you're better off with compromised colour than black and white.
You get a better scan from a slide too.
And if all else fails, you can convert to black and white digitally?
I have had to correct a few colour casts after scanning badly processed or badly preserved slides, and its easy once you know how.
The go with one first plan sounds a good one, from this layman's point of view
